Palladium-Catalyzed 2-(Neopentylsulfinyl)aniline Directed C-H Acetoxylation and Alkenylation of the Arylacetamides

A directing group that promotes very fast diacetoxylation of the arylacetamides is reported. The auxiliary also promotes alkenylation with vinyl ketones, which were generated in one-pot from the cyclopropanols

Visible Light-Promoted Catalytic Ring-Opening Isomerization of 1,2-Disubstituted Cyclopropanols to Linear Ketones

In this article, we report a photocatalytic protocol for the isomerization of 1,2-disubstituted cyclopropanols to linear ketones. The reaction proceeds via radical intermediates and tolerates various functional groups
